Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Is it free to use?

Yes! The content and all platform tools are available for free, with no registration required. There is also a donation option to support the project.

Can I use large WSDL files?

Yes!

Are my data safe?

Yes, all tools perform operations locally. No data is stored or sent to a server.

How long does it take to view the WSDL?

Usually, it only takes a few seconds to view the WSDL, depending on the file size.

Which browser is compatible?

The latest browsers ensure compatibility and optimal performance, such as Edge, Chrome, Firefox, Opera, and Safari.

Can I use any operating system?

Yes, you can use any modern operating system such as Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android, as long as you have a web browser. The available tools work online and do not require software installation or browser extensions.

What is WSDL and why is it important?

WSDL (Web Services Description Language) is an XML document that describes SOAP services, including operations, messages, and data types. It is essential to understand how to properly consume a SOAP service.

How can I view and analyze the WSDL?

It’s simple, just go to WSDL Reader/Viewer and upload a file or provide a URL to inspect operations, messages, and data types interactively. It allows you to view and analyze WSDL/XML files quickly and easily, making it easier to understand and use SOAP services.

What does the Formatter/Minify do?

The Formatter/Minify is used to format (beautify) XML/WSDL documents, displaying them with indentation and highlighting. Minify removes spaces and comments to reduce file size. The formatting routines run in the browser using JavaScript. To access it, click here.

What SOAP consumption examples are available?

The site provides examples and guidance for several popular languages — such as Python, Java, .NET, and Node.js — showing how to build requests and consume SOAP services from each platform. To access it, click here.

Can I upload WSDLs containing sensitive information?

We recommend caution. Tools like Formatter/Minify or Reader/Viewer run in the browser (local processing), but when providing a URL the site may fetch the file remotely. Avoid including credentials or sensitive data in public WSDLs and check our Privacy Policy.

Does the site automatically generate client code from the WSDL?

The site provides examples and points to tools for code generation, validation, and analysis, but it does not necessarily offer a fully integrated automatic generator on all pages.

see the tools/resources section for code generation tool recommendations.

How can I export or share the formatted WSDL?

After formatting/minifying, you can copy the content, download the resulting file, or save it locally. Use the available buttons in the Formatter tool to copy/download.

Is the site free and how can I contribute or report issues?

The content and tools on the platform are available for free. You can visit the GitHub repository (link in the footer) to open issues, contribute code, or suggest improvements.

How does the site use cookies and how can I manage preferences?
